Ethical Issues with Advanced Biotechnology

As medical and information technology advance, there are points in which substantial interaction occurs and therefore opportunities to investigate and discuss the ethical delivery of care in a rapidly changing environment. The changes in medical and information technology impact all disciplines of medicine: Surgery, Medicine, Palliative care, end of life care, and many others.

Using an interactive case-based format, in collaboration with our surgical, medical, and bioethics colleagues in Hong Kong, the specific topics emphasize different approaches to these issues across Western and Chinese cultures.
